Our E3 predictions for Sony and PS4

Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo will hold the biggest press events and all three will be under great scrutiny. In our first preview video, IBTimes UK's video game correspondent Ben Skipper talks us through what to expect from Microsoft.

Microsoft's press conference takes place at 5.30pm BST on Monday 15 June.
